Night Race in aid of autism

ARCHIVEDTHIS EVENT HAS LAPSED

Race or run for the fun – and help raise funds for the Boland School for Autism – by entering the Afrikaanse Taalmonument and Paarl Athletics Club’s annual Night Race on Wednesday 9 December 2015. Medals, cash prizes and lucky draws are up for grabs.
Boland School for Autism, a registered non-profit organisation, was founded in 2010. Today the school accommodates more than 20 students, who come from as far away as Tulbagh, Stellenbosch, Saron and Wellington. The school’s team consists of teachers, assistants, occupational and speech therapists, a biokineticist, an educational psychologist, and a school administrator. Parents cannot always afford all these services.

The 5 km Word Run, that starts at 18:40, is suitable for the entire family. Prams are welcome. The entry fee is R15. Participants receive an Afrikaans word instead of a number.

The 10km Night Race, held in accordance with the rules of Athletics South Africa and Athletics Boland starts at 18:30. The race follows a scenic and challenging route along both tar and gravel roads. Walkers are welcome to enter. The entry fee is R40, with temporary numbers (for non-members of athletic clubs) available at R30.
